Johnny One Note

A 1934 promotional photo of Johnny One Note (1920-2014) performing his famous and only version of "The Ballad of Johnny One Note", a song which he wrote at the age of six and first performed on the vaudeville stage in his native hometown of Freso, California in 1926, beginning an 88-year American tradition on the vaudeville circuit (1926-1934) and popular movies (1934-2014) ending with his farewell performance of his one (and only) hit song just before kicking the bucket in 2014 at the age of 93.

Johnny One Note (1920-2014) was a vaudeville performer born in Fresno, California, and was famous for repeatedly singing one notable song (namely, "The Ballad of Johnny One Note", which he himself wrote) throughout his entire 88-year career on stage from 1926 to 1934 and on film from 1934 to 2014, right up to his death in 2014.

Johnny One Note's life and career of singing his signature song "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" on the Vaudevillian stage (1926 to 1934) and motion pictures (1934 to 2014)

In 1920, the vaudeville performer Johnny One Note was born, who went on to sing "The Ballad of Johnny One Note", on stage and in film, the one (and only one) song for which he was ever remembered during his entire career, whether on the stage or on film, of which the first was produced in 1926 in Fresno, California, and the last was produced in 2014 just prior to his death. As a vaudeville performer starting in 1926 in Fresno, California, which was the place of his birth, the six-year-old Johnny One Note repeatedly sang "The Ballad of Johnny One Note", which was his one and only composition, as a prelude to a lengthy career devoted to singing that very song ad nauseum in every single of his many performances in Vaudevillian shows (from 1926 to 1934) and subsequent movie appearances (from 1934 to 2014 (the year of his death)).

Johnny One Note's final public appearance just before his death in 2014 (at the age of 93), days after the release of his autobiographical film Johnny One Note in which he retells the story of his birth in Fresno California in 1920, his first experience on the vaudevillian stage in 1926 in which he first sang his trademark song "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" beginning his wild and woolly 88-year career in entertainment, including his starring debut in Hollywood in MGM's Johnny One Note (1934), and a dramatic perspective role in his long-anticipated remake Johnny One Note.

Soon after Johnny One Note's final appearance on the Vaudeville stage in 1934, during which he sang his one and only hit song "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" at least 17 times, as he did many many times before starting in 1926 in Fresno, California, which was, incidentally, just down the street from where he was born in 1920, he starred in his first movie entitled Johnny One Note (MGM, 1934), the first of a long string of sequels featuring Johnny One Note singing "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" of which the last was made in 2014 (the year of Johnny One Note's death). In 2014, despite his waning popularity, Johnny One Note personally produced, and directed, and starred in a remake of the original Johnny One Note (MGM, 1934), culminating a life-long 88-year career of singing "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" (originally written and sung live by Johnny One Note on the vaudeville stage in 1926 in his native town of Fresno, California) in every single one of his many vaudeville and movie appearances, and which was released to the public in 2014 only weeks before Johnny One Note's untimely demise.

Johnny One Note's untimely demise in 2014 at the age of 93, only days after his final opus, Johnny One Note, was released (depicting his amazing story covering his birth in 1920, his time in vaudeville from 1926 to 1934 repeatedly singing his famous ditty "The Ballad of Johnny One Note", and his subsequent series of hilarious Johnny One Note films for MGM), capping off a triumphant 88 years of All-American entertainment

In 2014, Johnny One Note (1920-2014) died at the age of 93 and was buried in Fresno, California, the city of his birth in 1920, where he first performed his sole Top-Ten song "The Ballad of Johnny One Note" (written and copyrighted in 1926), the same song which he repeatedly sang verbatim spanning 88 years in both vaudeville (1926-1934) and on screen (1934-2014).
